That just means the Fed will continue to be Hawkish af. No good for equity markets imo

Yes that could be a possibility. Not for a while though. Maybe end of next year or 2024

Whatever the Fed's intentions are, they'd better get it done before the general election.

I can't imagine a Federal Bank policy of purposely throwing people out of work and increasing unemployment is going to go over well with constituents heading into a presidential election.

Seems like the trim is mostly from overvalued tech companies. When you hear about the 7-eleven workers not being able to find work then we're in trouble.

I haven’t seen layoffs anywhere other than massive tech companies over hiring during the pandemic.

Not necessarily. Cpi is going to come in much lower than expected for January 2023

cpi is measured as year over year change. It will continue to trend down. Cpi December 2021 was the first time it was 7%. Peak cpi was June 2022. Doesn’t mean inflation isn’t happening…just means that the equation they use will show that the number continues to trend down
